48 chip clone is not yet activated. KeyDIY factory is moving their online server. They will do an update in May, after the update, all KD X-2 can activate 96 bit 48 clone functions freely by the update 96 bit 48 clone functions cost tokens. You can gain tokens by generating remotes using KD X-2 . Generate 5 remotes, gain one tokens. They have not made the decision yet on tokens or how much tokens will be for 96 bit id48.

(Keep updating this part…)

5. Keyline and Slica:

Keyline use no tokens but the gkm chips are £15.

Silca: the ID49 cloning price will be about 1000 euro for package, you need M-Box+ M-Snoop, but it uses no tokens and silca 48 currently around £12 for the id48 transponder chip.

At the end of the day its the speed to clone , the cost to clone and the chip price that will dictate the best tool , the token and chip prices may make silca and keyline competitive as token free and very fast and reliable , time will tell.

The cost of the machine is not a factor , the cost of consumables is tokens and chips is far more important , as a decent saving to produce the chip will soon negate the cost of the kit , once all consumable prices are known then it becomes easier to decide on best machine.

For now VVDI key tool is better to chip copy, kd-x2 precode many remote.
